Each year, thousands of shops celebrate Halloween by giving away free comic books to millions of fans and introducing others to the wonders of comics.

And this year, a newly opened county comic book store is joining in for the first time.

"Strange Apparitions in Spalding is one of the thousands of local comic shops around the world celebrating the second largest event in the comic book industry on Saturday, October 27; Halloween ComicFest,” said Alexander Hunt, owner of Strange Apparitions.

“From a new take on classic characters like Spider-Man, to showcasing major franchises like Hellblazer and Goosebumps,“ Alexander adds, “there are so many amazing titles available this year and we’re confident everyone will find something they love.

"There are over 30 free great titles being released this year, including comics for the upcoming Hellboy film, and a tie-in to the Rise of the TMNT series on Nickelodeon.

"For manga fans, we also have comics by acclaimed horror writers Junji Ito and Tsutomu Nihei. It’s a fantastic way to try out new comics, and get into the Halloween spirit at the same time."

"Comics are a fun and enduring form of entertainment for readers of all ages to dive into as imagination comes to life. Whether it be popular comics based on mainstream superheroes, television shows, or video games, there’s something for everyone to enjoy."

There will also be collectable vintage horror themed figures available for sale on the day, as well as new toys and merchandise releases exclusive to Halloween ComicFest.

Free comics on the day are limited to a maximum of five per person, given away on a first come first served basis. The shop has around 500 to give away in total. Find a full list of Halloween ComicFest titles being given away HERE.
